Maniac on the dance floor I didn't go to the craft store Because I did a dance workout and collapsed on the floor Then danced horizontally "A for effort, pet" - Mr. McNamara, Scottish PE teacher who pitied me for my complete lack of coordination and giant thick rimmed glasses His son was an ass... So, yes, I didn't go to the store and I didn't book my appointment But I replaced the elastic on the ends of two sleeves I rummaged through Mama's stuff for more sewing supplies It didn't sting like it usually does, being in Mama's room I welled up a bit at her notebook but I could hold the grief in my body I took a pin cushion, lavender oil and an umbrella On my sleeves, I used running stitches to gather the fabric And it took ages And I cried but I FINISHED Then I got up to do a celebratory dance But both my legs were completely numb from sitting crisscrossed So I collapsed on the floor again I thrust my blouse into the air and waved it as I horizontally jiggled, for consistency I got my last work assignment for the manga contract. I was right-- work is a lot easier in my chair with my mug. But most importantly--today, I caught up with the magnificent Laila, who is the garden cat and my best friend She is the most beautiful dark Calico IN THE WORLD. THAT IS OBJECTIVE FACT. We had chicken And sang a bit About chicken I think she approves of the grass and new plants and trees I ended up ordering a sewing kit It's more cost effective Financially and in terms of what's left of my mental health I had to ask Baba what thimbles are called in Egyptian Arabic Well, I asked Tante Z but Baba knew the answer New words and new people=stuttering The craft lady from Mansoura is a challenge for another day And my gynecologist I think this two things limit is helping I like it I feel tired but not too overwhelmed Two things at a time Chipping away at the mountain |
